From then on, I was stuck in the ancient hall surrounded by nothing except a blank white room and hole in the middle. Where day in, and day out I watched Harry. To when they found the real locket to when Ron walked out of the tent to Godrics Hallow.
The ancients agreed that I would be allowed one more but only to give sword of gryffindor to Harry. That night I walked though the forest glowing like a light. Harry came to me. He drew his wand " It can't be." I held out the sword in my hand " Good luck Harry and remember I'm always right there with you." Even though it pained me, I kissed him and quickly whispered, " I love you." I saw Harry gripping the sword and saying the words, " I love you to."
I kept on watching and I saw when they were captured to when Hermione was tortured. I watched all of it helplessly. After everything, it was time for the final battle. The ancients wished me a " Good luck" and sent me back to earth.
They were all gathered in the room of requirement Ron, Hermione, and Harry pushed through the crowd. Harry saw me and smiled, he walked up to me and hugged me " I love you." He whispered to me so only I could hear.
"I love you to Harry with all of my heart."
"Where the bloody hell have you been." Yelled Ron
" We needed you ad you abandoned us." The same anger in her voice. I tried to speak but Harry stopped me " That's a long story what matters is that she is here now." We shared a secretive smile.
The battle was fierce light and dark fought viciously. Voldamort gave Harry a choice I knew what Harry was going to choose, and I was going to say goodbye when he did. No one noticed that Harry had disappeared the weasley's were grieving over Fred, Remus, and Tonks.
I ran to the edge of the field hoping I wasn't to late. "Ariel." I turned around there he was the savior of the world, the boy who lived, Harry.
" I know what you're going to do."
"You can't stop me."
"I'm not going to," I walked toward him " for you see Harry that was part of the ancient one's deal," I kissed him " that they wouldn't take me away from you," I kissed him and hugged him "you live, I live. You die, I die." I gave him one last kiss " Go fulfill your destiny Harry." I went back to the castle and waited for my death.
" Ariel where's Harry?" Hermione questioned me.
"He went to fulfill the prophecy."
"No." she whispered tears started to run down her cheeks. The great hall doors opened, Voldamort walked him a smile of victory on his face. Next to him, Hagrid carried Harry's body.
Screams were heard and walked up to me. I concluded that Harry was still alive. Voldamort eyed me " The day for the history books, it will say that I the dark lord defeated the 'boy who lived' and in the same day kill the last living heir of the gryffindor line."
Gasps were heard around the room. He raised his wand ' Avada Kavadra' just as I was about to raise a shield for myself a shield was already cast. I smiled to my self at the same time Neville killed the snake with the sword of gryffindor. Harry was up his wand pointed Voldamort. They fought ending with Harry being victorious. I smiled as Harry was crowded around, I would wait my turn. I was outside the circle waiting my turn when ten bright lights alerted me who had come.
" You have honored only one part of our deal Ariel it is time to honor the other part. Will you?" I looked over at Harry who was quickly making his way out of the crowd to my side. I put a hand out to stop him as he was at the edge of the crowd, and I nodded.
" Guardian Ariel you have served for seven years. Protecting your charge with your powers. Now we take the powers of the guardians," they lifted there hands and there palms started to glow " we break your bonds from us," The light started to get brighter " No longer will you be welcome in the hall of the ancients and guardians," The light was blinding " No longer will you be a guardian." With those final words, the light shot out and hit me and I was enveloped by darkness.
I woke up refreshed; I sat up and looked around. It was the hospital wing and on the edge of the bed was Harry. I smiled and reached my hand over and ran it through his hair "Harry" I whispered in his ear. Madam Pomfrey walked in at that time. She smiled at me "How long was I out."
" About a week, that boy," she pointed at Harry, who was still sleeping "has barley left your side. I've never seen someone give up so much for one person."
" It was defiantly worth it. So, Harry told you everything. " Madam Pomfrey gave me a small smile "He told us some things but I think kept a few things quiet," She walked to her office " call me if you need anything."
Harry was still asleep " Harry." I rolled my eyes and leaned planting a quick kiss on his lips. He finally opened his eyes " Good to see you awake." I said sarcastically.
I don't think he was listening as he proceeded to kiss me. I started to lean against my pillow. He deepened the kiss when we heard " I really didn't need to see that." We broke apart reluctantly and I glared at Ron. Harry sat back down in his chair.
" Hi Ron, Hi Hermione." Ron smirked.
" Glad to see you awake." Hermione was also smiling and I noticed they were holding hands. " Finally." I said pointing to their intertwined hands. They both turned scarlet.
" So tell me what's happened since I blacked out."
" Well, you started to fall, and Harry caught you." I smirked at him, Ron continued " Then they told us about the deal that you made so you could be with Harry."
Harry chuckled " You should have seen the looks on everyone's faces, including those two." He said pointing to Ron and Hermione.
" You really can't blame us, it was quite a shock." We kept talking for about a couple hours when they said they needed to go to bed.
"You should go to bed to Harry."
" I will, it's just I need to ask you question," he pulled out a velvet box and opened it up " Will you marry me?"
Is stared at the silver banded, diamond and ruby ring and smiled and said " Yes."
